Fantastic... funny, but also frightening as so much of it seems too close to reality. The only difference is the social engineers aren't as open about it in their language.

I'll drink to that!!

Way To Go Mister Chu!

and what is an "SO Restaurant?" -- j

It's easy to be funny when you have such ridiculously easy targets (liberals). What makes it even easier is that they have absolutely no sense of humor, especially about themselves. I did try my hand at humor on straightlinelogic once or twice. See "Logic Banned,":

Business pages work a little different depending on his settings. The whole point of social media and advertising is to drum up business, right? if business is so good he doesn't have time for FB, I'd call that a win. Whatever he is doing must be working.

:-)

You keep correcting me, but that's OK. Crystal clear clarity is what is needed in this world.
Love the term "crystal clarity." This is where I picked that up as a kid--

Uh, having watched that again for the first time in years, it kinda reminds me of the special assholes now in control.

Bravo! "Don't let the door hit you in the A$$ on the way out!"

Very funny! Great comment! +1

I demand that you write a humorous novel! Now!
I'm waiting....

Best regards,

Yeah but, can't other people post or make comments on a facebook page?
Where did I say he should call people to come stand in line?

Anyone who was in, or is in retailing can tell you similar stories, of customers who are either unreasonable, or just plain moochers. In my case, I had a camera shop, and would take back a product for a refund if it was still new in the original box within a reasonable length of time. However, during the summer, when Michiganders mostly went on vacation, we would have an outbreak of people buying a camera and using it on vacation and then trying to return it for a refund. Usually easy to tell because of the sand still in the camera. In those good old days, if the customer used a credit card, the credit card company would stand the loss if the customer was an insisting mooch. I don't know if that's still the case. To summarize: every day in every way, when dealing with the public, one will get all sorts; from the folks you love to have walk into your place of business, to the moochers and scammers.I admire this restaurant owner's courage, because nobody, not even the customer, is always right.

Perhaps he's too busy making delicious food. When you have people waiting in line, you don't waste time calling more people to come stand in line. (maybe you should look at expanding capacity, but as he's clearly demonstrated, it's his business to run as he sees fit)

Wow, nothing new on this facebook since over a year ago....

Like a special kind of ass hole you mean?

Another group of idiots that believe their 'entitlements' come first. Don't like it, move on! Whenever we had a group and one of us needed something special, like others have posted, they talked to the waiter and chef if necessary and poof! Problem solved, everyone happy. No whining, no pansy-assed little girl tantrums.

I completely agree with him in my business I too have told potential customers to go elsewhere since I could not give them what they wanted. I also know that if I couldn't no one else could. but I am still in business as I am sure he will be.

The restaurant owner DID do an Atlas Shrugged, albeit temporarily, whether he has ever heard of Ann Rand or not. I also noticed he is not hurting for business and it is likely picking up due to the free advertising offered by the media.
As for the picky customers and folks who exhibit narcissist behavior that I have pointed out to a certain someone, I have a brother who likes to say, "But he/she is SPE-CIAAAL!"

I prefer Paula Dean's restaurant. If it tastes good, then serve it!

Oh hell... I've been following this and didn't realize (until now) the joint is in San Francisco.

(1) I'm not surprised that the self-entitled snivelers are raising a stink. After all, living in the home of one of the greatest communo-socialist leaders since Mao himself, they *know* they have a right to be coddled, pampered, and catered to their every bizarre and unusual whim. Part of the reason we shrugged the Bay Area with no plan on returning. And then, people wonder WHY we wouldn't want to live in this socialist paradise...

(2) Next time I'm in the city (yes, sadly, I do have to go there from time to time) I think I'll stop in for a bite... and shake his hand!

Well, this is right up my alley... Lol. I could write a book on how people "tried" to get out of paying. I don't miss it at all. You have no idea how many people who are allergic to seafood eat at a seafood restaurant. One lady wanted me to make everyone leave the deck (45 seats inside a closed in glass room) so she wouldn't be around crabs. I informed her that she came into a CRAB house and kindly showed her the front door. It's HIS business, why is that so hard to understand.

In my mind the story is that people are so upset by all this, on both sides, that it even makes the news. Who cares? The guy has every right to serve what he wants and the customers can spend their money elsewhere.

In California you might have fewer customers if you serve MSG and ignore the whole gluten-free issue. So what? I friggin love MSG and try to have at least one meal a week that's heavily loaded with the stuff.

I try to only eat things that have a face...

Most of them would have no idea WHAT that smelly, noisy, feathered "thing" is... because *everyone* knows chicken comes from sanitary-wrapped styrofoam trays in assorted shapes.

I would much prefer to be a PETA* diner than a PITA diner...

(PETA - People Eating Tasty Animals... NOT those whackjobs that stole OUR acronym......)

No no no no NO! It simply MUST be Lauretana served in lead-free crystal, chilled with just a touch of the lower third of icicles snipped from the pure slate roofs of the Camaldoli hermitage prior's cell (*not* the mother house) in Toscana... between January 13th and February 3rd.

I don't understand this second rate water stuff... Peh, I say... Peh!

I can't be certain, ed, but we must have had dinner together.
